    Shuker 51 P Bass, custom order but was worth the wait ! 2010 completion.

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    Built by Jon in 2010 to my specific order and featured on his web site.

    It is a 51 Precison slab body with fantastic maple neck, black pickguard, in a 50's off white with grain showing through and a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder.

    This bass is unmarked and only seen a few gigs as I tend to use my Gibsons !!!!

    No case but can provide an old T Bass gig bag and can probably deliver personally.

    Looking for £925..................better than waiting but it deserves to be played.

    Wampler Pedals - USA Hand wired Boutique - Paisley, Ecstasy and Faux Analogue Echo

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted

    Having decided to go down the complete software route in y studio I am reluctantly selling my collection of 3 Wampler pedals. Never gigged and very little used !

    Ecstasy
    Paisley
    Faux Analogue Echo

    These all retail for £185 each and are only available in 2 dealers in UK.

    Mine are boxed and as new.

    From the Wampler web site

    [color=#ff0000]Ecstasy[/color]

    When Brian created the Ecstasy, he was working on creating a pedal that would go from clean tones to distorted tones while adding a bit of warmth. He wanted something for himself that would be dynamic, have a great sounding "gritty" tone to it yet be able to respond to the volume knob like a tube amp. Everything about Brian is in the dynamics of sound and if a pedal can't work with him dynamically, then he just can't use it. Out of this search, he developed the Ecstasy Drive.

    The Ecstasy is his take on that elusive "dumble" tone and feel - smooth creaminess yet crunchy when you need it to be, yet the tonality is much more transparent than other "dumble sounding" pedals. Very responsive tone controls that interact with the pedal - they don't just "color" the sound. The controls actually affect the response and feel of the pedal, just like a great tube amp.

    If you love the sound of your clean tone, and just wish you could have more "hair" on the note... a little bit of grit without any change in tonality, the Ecstasy will do that with ease. PLUS it's extremely flexible... with the toggle switch in the down position you'll get a hint of fuzz along with the overdrive, it's reminiscent of the tones that "Eric Johnson" may use. With the toggle in the up position the tonality is super smooth, creamy yet crunchy when you dig into the strings. This is reminiscent to the famous "dumble" tone, though it's really much, much more than that. In the center position, the toggle will give you tons of crunch, or roll the gain back a bit and push the volume up and you have a superior clean boost with a 2 band EQ that's extremely transparent, but variable so you can actually turn it into an awesome treble booster just by cranking up the treble and turning the bass down.

    The newest version is the same as the bigger box (older) version in a few of the videos on YouTube, it is just in a smaller, more compact, box.

    [color=#ff0000]Paisley[/color]

    Since late 2009, we discovered that [url="http://www.bradpaisley.com/"]Brad Paisley[/url] was using Wampler Pedals. He started with the [url="http://www.wamplerpedals.com/reverb-and-delay/analogecho.html"]AnalogEcho[/url], then got an [url="http://www.wamplerpedals.com/other-effects/ego-compressor.html"]Ego Compressor[/url] and then had the [url="http://www.wamplerpedals.com/discontinued.html"]Underdog[/url]overdrive.

    Everything was great until his tech, Chad, mentioned to Brian that Brad still was not quite settled on the overdrive sound he was getting from his live rig… could Wampler maybe look at making a pedal …??

    Brads requirements were quite “simple”… it needs to be clean but get crunchy with some “beef” to it. It needs to have a fluid tone when soloing. I needs to add a little hair to the tone but then but then has to be able to give flat out ball busting gain, oh… but please do not wreck the tonality. It needs to have everything, in a pedal format, but do not make it sound like a pedal...!

    Over a period of months, Brian made some prototypes and sent them off, there were a couple of “tweaks” here and there to be made and then finally, when “proto #2” landed it went straight into the live rack and out on the H20 world tour.

    That prototype has now been made into the Brad Paisley signature “Paisley Drive” and goes with Brad wherever he goes. When you see Brad live, or performing live on the TV, and you are blown away by his overdriven tone, it’s the Paisley Drive.

    The truly great thing about this pedal is that it’s not only Telecaster style guitars that it works so well with, it brings the best out of your Strat or anything you may have loaded with humbuckers. You no longer need to have individual pedals for your guitars; the Paisley Drive will make each one sing.

    The inbuilt tonal controls, the presence and mid contour switches, will make this pedal the single most versatile and complete overdrive pedal you have ever owned. In fact, we believe it might be the last one you ever buy...

    [b]Brad Paisley:-
    “...we actually recorded this (pedal) in the studio, you know, trying it out. I turned up a Trainwreck Amp that I've got and compared the sound of the distortion and it was very, very similar. And that's a very good test because any time a pedal can mimic a great overdriven amp then you're on to something...”[/b]

    [color=#ff0000]Faux Analogue Echo[/color]

    We’ve heard it said before that all delay pedals sound the same. “Surely they just make an echo don’t they, they just copy what has just happened, don’t they?”

    Well, theoretically, they do. But, if you take a few of them, and then listen to each one properly, you will quickly see that some sound cold, some sound dirty, some sound warm, others sound... well... you know.

    So, if you wanted a delay pedal, just a normal one (not one that does everything yet in reality, nothing that actually sounds good), what do you want? You want a an accurate replication of your tone, one that you can sparkle up if you want, or maybe cool down to give an older analog sounding warmth. You want enough delay time to give you loads of echo, yet you want it sharp enough to give you a fast, accurate slap back. Basically, you want something that you can use and lets you still sound great.

    Enter the Wampler Pedals Faux AnalogEcho. Quite possible, the best sounding delay pedal available today. Just ask Brad Paisley. Or James Burton, Oli Brown or maybe Brent Mason. People who know a good pedal when they hear one.

    The Faux AnalogEcho is based around the industry leading pt2399 chip. The industry standard for delay pedals. We treat the signal path in such a way that the dry path and the core signal are completely unaltered, we only use the chip to make a digital replication. With this, the sound remains exactly as you want it. No coloration. With the addition of a tone knob, you can incorporate a little sparkle for digital crispness, or take it all the way out for the most amazing analog warmth.

    Looking for £125 each including postage or all 3 for £335

    Gibson SG

    SG basses are great I've had a few, but keep going back to my original EB3's and EB2' s I play in a "Heritage" rock band.

    Check out www.theproperboys.co.uk or YouTube us

    Never found neck dive at all, and they are much more versatile than the old ones and I would recommend them to anyone.

    The faded finish is good value and you can pick them up for a reasonable price.......oh and put flats on them if you really want the retro sound.

    You either love Gibsons or hate them in my opinion, and I'm in the former category

    How about a mid 60's EB3 which had the fretboard thinned by about 1/4 in in 60's and a refinish at same time. No neck breaks and sounds fantastic but I have another and an EB2. VGC and looked after by BassDoc on this forum for me who recently put a new nut in, alson SG reissue shaped Gibson case.

    SOLD!!!
